I heard adam say on interview that he doesn't really hit the gym that much. How do you have arms like this naturally? Was I the only person to notice this on TV?

Activity and genetics.  They aren't really above average all that much...he is just lean

How much muscle mass do you gain from surfing? He's either lifting or been lifting.

in the playoff he hits a 3wood on the tee while angel hits a iron and I believe the iron went longer.(or about the same)

Most 32-year-olds aren't professional golfers.

I'm sure he lifts. Most PGA players these days put more importance on physical fitness. Like some others have already said, it's not that he's jacked, he's just lean. When you're thin and with the proper diet, it doesn't take much weight lifting to build that amount of muscle.

In my Callaway stand bag:

9.5 Degree Taylormade Burner Superfast Adilla Voodoo shaft
3 Wood: Cleveland Launcher 15 degree Adilla Voodoo shaft
Irons 3-SW: Callaway X-14 Steelhead

Lob wedge: Cleveland 60 degree

Putter: Ping Anser Karsten

His arms aren't above average? Lol. Yeah, you get well defined massive biceps without lifting. Sorry, but that's just a silly statement. They may be average biceps for an NBA player, but he may have the largest arms on the PGA tour.

+1 MyrtleBeachGolf. Maybe he hasn't lifted in awhile, be he had to have had to sometime in his life and not a trivial amount either. The average person I see is carrying at least an extra 25 pounds and that's not in muscle.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
